Hello everyone!
Is there anyone who could help me with upgrading my wheels on my m240i xDrive.
7.5j x 19 et45
8j x 19et52

That's factory recommended sizes.
Is there any one who fitted a slightly wider wheels without having any problems with xDrive system? If yes could You please advise me with the wheel size and tyre size.

Many Thanks

Heya!

Welcome to the forum! Nice looking car. Did you wrap the roof?

As far as wheels, I suggest checking out the following threads.

https://www.2addicts.com/forums/show....php?t=1393898

To go with that thread is Apex Racings Fitment guide for our cars (F22 BMW chassis).

Check it out HERE.

Here is another thread that focuses on many different wheel brands.

Lastly, A 19" wheel pic thread.

https://www.2addicts.com/forums/show....php?t=1372250

I myself am running 19x8 et40 and 19x9 et 44 with 10 mm spacers front and rear (effective et's = 30 front 34 rear). I run 225/35 and 255/30 tires. On stock suspension I have zero rub. I am about to lower the car so I will remove the spacers in the rear for initial set up to see if I can fit them after I lower it (only going 1", so I think I wil be fine.

In hindsight, I would probably would have thought more about a square set up. I have said it before here, but I think square 18's are the best combo for performanceand looks. Staggered set up look great, but the norrower tires up front do not contribute to better handling. Nor do the narrow sidewalls in areas where the roads are not that great (for the most part the entire lower 48). I love the look of my car with my current set up, but I cannot push the car out of fear of destroying a $700 rim on the Bay Areas crater sized pot holes and Grand Canyon wide hiway expansion joints. Control, comfort and mad performace is what yoyu get with proper 18's.

If my wife had not already had a heartattack seven years ago, I would think about having a "daily" set of square 18's, and my BBS for show and coffee meets. I will more likely lok to trade my BBS once the supply chain is back to square middle to late next year.

Other common sizes that are known to fit out cars.

front
19x8.5 et 35
19x8 et 35-40

rear
19x9.5 et 44-46
19x9.5 et 58
19x8.5 et 35
19x9 et 40-45

The above are just a small sampling. If you check out the above threads, just about any combo that works will have an example and pics (as well as some that do not work well).

Good luck, and feel free to let us know if you have more questions. Also, let us know what you end going with!

Man I'm on the same boat. I've literally read dozens of posts and I'm still not sure. I found some STANCE wheels 19x8.5 Offset 40 that I absolutely love.

The issue is tires. I myself am planning on switching the 18inch run flats with some conti dws all seasons on my 2020 m240i xdrive on stock wheels stock suspension.

But Im also wanting to get the stance wheels in 19s squared setup. But I would like to run a 245/35r19. I've read some ppl do it and then I've heard no it don't work, so I'm stuck lol I know a 30series in the rear would work but living in chicago I want more rubber. Idk what to do lol
